QUESTIONS :
Anatomy & Kinesiology (Questions 1–20)
Question 1: The geometric formula for the area of a triangle is:
A. (1/2)bh
B. πr²
, Page 2 of 45
C. 2πr
D. l × w
Correct answer: A. (1/2)bh
Rationale: The area of a triangle is calculated using (1/2) × base
× height.
Question 2: Which muscle is the primary agonist (prime mover)
during a biceps curl?
A. Triceps brachii
B. Biceps brachii
C. Brachioradialis
D. Deltoid
Correct answer: B. Biceps brachii
Rationale: The biceps brachii is the primary muscle responsible
for elbow flexion, making it the agonist during a biceps curl.
Question 3: What is the anatomical term for a muscle that
opposes the action of the prime mover?
A. Agonist
B. Synergist
C. Antagonist
D. Fixator
Correct answer: C. Antagonist
Rationale: The antagonist opposes the action of the agonist.
During a biceps curl, the triceps brachii acts as the antagonist
by relaxing to allow flexion.
Question 4: Which joint type allows for the greatest range of
motion, including abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, and
, Page 3 of 45
rotation?
A. Hinge joint
B. Ball-and-socket joint
C. Pivot joint
D. Saddle joint
Correct answer: B. Ball-and-socket joint
Rationale: The ball-and-socket joint (e.g., shoulder and hip)
allows for multiaxial movement, providing the greatest range of
motion.
Question 5: The quadriceps muscle group is responsible for
which action at the knee?
A. Knee flexion
B. Knee extension
C. Hip abduction
D. Ankle plantarflexion
Correct answer: B. Knee extension
Rationale: The quadriceps femoris group (rectus femoris,
vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius) contracts
concentrically to extend the knee.
Question 6: Which muscle is the primary mover for hip flexion?
A. Gluteus maximus
B. Iliopsoas
C. Hamstrings
D. Quadratus lumborum
Correct answer: B. Iliopsoas
Rationale: The iliopsoas (iliacus and psoas major) is the
, Page 4 of 45
strongest hip flexor, originating on the lumbar spine and pelvis
and inserting on the femur.
Question 7: The hamstring muscle group is responsible for
which actions?
A. Knee extension and hip flexion
B. Knee flexion and hip extension
C. Knee flexion and hip abduction
D. Knee extension and hip abduction
Correct answer: B. Knee flexion and hip extension
Rationale: The hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus,
semimembranosus) concentrically flex the knee and extend the
hip.
Question 8: Which plane of motion divides the body into left
and right halves?
A. Sagittal plane
B. Frontal plane
C. Transverse plane
D. Horizontal plane
Correct answer: A. Sagittal plane
Rationale: The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right.
Movements like flexion and extension occur in this plane.
Question 9: A jumping jack occurs primarily in which plane of
motion?
A. Sagittal plane
B. Frontal plane
C. Transverse plane
D. Oblique plane
